Nonsense.

I experience Heatspikes as well and my PC is in perfect shape.

no, you just never encountered software that actually puts load on your hardware

its like having a car engine that then blows the moment it touches the redline and claiming "it was in perfect shape" ... not it wasnt, it was "fine" as long as you never pushed its performance to the limit it SHOULD be able to handle

as i sayd several times, if you people have heat issues go into your BIOS and manually set the voltage to prevent PBO to to shove way too much power into your chips chasing that last 0.1% of performance.

if THAT doesnt improve the temperatures THEN start looking at other possible sources of the issues like underspecced cooler, improperly installed thermal compound etc ...


but the software itself CANNOT load the CPU more than 100%, if its overheating to just means your BIOS settings are overpowering the cooling limit of your setup (testable by Prime95 by the way, if your cooling is "good enough" it should easily handle long time p95 load test, if it cant then the cooler is NOT sufficient for actual full load)

You have no Idea what you are talking about.
I have a Monster PC and even Prime doesnt produce this Kind of Heat.

please do go on, describe your monster PC that entitles you to be the authority on PC hardware :)

This worked for me, cpu went from 80c down to 65 by setting vsync to locked and capping both framerates to 90

Your cpu will clock itself down to prevent this.

This is not the games fault lol.

Remount your cooler.
if that doesn't work get a new one.

%99.999 odds you can reproduce this without poe running.

you're right about the fact that the load of the game is too high for his hardware, the right thing to do for him is is to lower the load by lowering the framerate in the game.

question is, should a game watch your cpu/gpu temperature and lower the framerate output itself?
i don't think so, nowadays chips lower their frequency (and so power needed) themselves if they're run over their given specs.

i don't think that lowering the voltage of the cpu helps, i think it would rather damage the cpu.

the power the cpu draws is given and the product of the voltage and current flowing into the cpu.
if you lower the voltage, the cpu has to draw more current to keep the power output.

problem is, the current is what heats up the cirquits, not the voltage.

the only solution (beside improved cooling) is to lower the load on the cpu

I have the same processor and I don't go over 80c with my noctua air cooler, the trick is to limit your fps and undervolt your cpu slightly (not too much otherwise performance will drop).

It's not unreasonable for the game to use all the processing power your PC offers. It can't know that you have insufficient cooling or ventalation in place.

Your PC is responsible for regulating this ultimately. But as others have suggested you could try capping framerate or reducing graphics quality. Asking the game to manage this however is always an inferior solution as the game doesn't know anything about your PC configuration.
